Change Your Clocks; Change Your Smoke Detector Batteries
- Description:
- Change Your Clocks; Change Your Smoke Detector Batteries
Manchester Fire-Rescue-EMS Department is urging citizens to change the batteries in their smoke alarms when they change their clocks (fall back) on November 1, 2009. It is a local requirement to have working smoke alarms on every level in a home and outside all sleeping areas. Only working smoke detectors can alert people to fire and give them the precious seconds they need to safely escape a fire inside the home. In many fatal home fires, the smoke alarms have not worked, often because the batteries are dead, disconnected or missing. Smoke alarms are essential to detecting smoke in the early stages of fire. Many people are alive today because they were alerted by their smoke alarms. Smoke alarms should be tested monthly and replaced if they are more than ten years old.
